For Wikipedia, my main goals are to ensure that a page is helpful to the casual reader, and that it is authoritative; Wikipedia is nothing if people browsing don't feel they can trust it. This does not mean that Wikipedia is prescriptive, but that it must be certain in its description of the world. Follow the sources. For 99% of disputes about what an article should say or how it should say it, the answer is to say what reliable sources say, and to talk about the subject how reliable sources talk. (That 1% matters too, but is harder to talk about in such a pithy way.) Lead follows body.

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries. I am very sorry to those few users waiting on reply or action in various domains. I have simply not had time.
